Charging the lithium-ion rechargeable battery
DANGER!
Injuries, material and environmental damage due to an improper
charging of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery!
Improper charging of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery can immediately
lead to dangerous situations and serious injuries, since the built-in lithium-ion
rechargeable battery can explode, heat up or ignite.
▶
Only use the power supply unit supplied with the instrument!
▶
Never leave the low-pressure controller near fire, nor in direct sunlight. If the
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries become hot, the built-in safety device is
activated and overcharging prevented. Heating the lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries can damage the safety device and can thus lead them to heat up
further, to cease to work or to ignite.
▶
Do not continue to charge the low-pressure controller if it does not fully
recharge within the specified time (approx. 8 hours).
WARNING!
Injuries or damage to property through defective rechargeable battery
A defective rechargeable battery can lead to hazardous situations and injuries.
▶
The CPC2000 low-pressure controller must absolutely not be used if, while
using, charging, or storing, it emits an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way.
The temperature range over which the lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be
■
charged is 0 ... 45 °C [32 ... 113 °F]. Temperatures outside of the specifications lead,
during the charging process, to heating or destruction to the rechargeable battery.
Do not charge the lithium-ion rechargeable battery outside this temperature range. In
■
addition to this range, the performance of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be
affected and the service life reduced.
Do not leave the rechargeable battery connected to the power supply unit for longer
■
than one day, since overcharging can shorten its service life.
When not being used, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.

4.2.3 Interface
It is possible to control and monitor the controller via a PC using interfaces (USB or
RS-232). For more information on this, please refer to chapter 7 "Interface".
